Term	Description
Enclosure, chassis, or system	Refers to the Dell PowerEdge FX2 or FX2s system.
Storage sled	Refers to the PowerEdge FD332 sled, which supports up to sixteen 2.5 inch hot-swap hard drives/SSDs in a drive drawer. NOTE: PowerEdge FX2 does not support the PowerEdge FD332 storage sled.
Compute sled	Refers to the half-width, quarter-width, or full-width servers, to which the storage sleds are mapped. NOTE: The PowerEdge FM120x4 half-width compute sled does not support the storage sled. NOTE: The PowerEdge FM120x4 half-width compute sled cannot be mixed with the other half-width, quarter-width, or full-width compute sleds. NOTE: For information on mapping of storage sleds to compute sleds in PowerEdge FX2s, see the Dell PowerEdge FD332 Owner’s Manual at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Four-bay chassis	Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports up to four half-width compute sleds. NOTE: In PowerEdge FX2s, the four-bay chassis configuration supports a combination of half-width compute and storage sleds. It supports a maximum of three storage sleds mapped to a compute sled.
Eight-bay chassis	Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports up to eight quarter-width compute sleds.
Two-bay chassis	Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports up to supports two full-width compute sleds.
Three-bay chassis	Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports one full-width compute sled and up to two half-width compute sleds. NOTE: In PowerEdge FX2s, this configuration also supports up to two half-width storage sleds mapped to one full-width compute sled.
Six-bay chassis	Refers to the PowerEdge FX2/FX2s enclosure configuration that supports up to four quarter-width compute sleds and up to two half-width compute sleds. NOTE: In PowerEdge FX2s, this configuration also supports up to two half-width storage sleds mapped to up to four quarter-width compute sleds.
I/O module	Refers to an Ethernet pass-through module or switch module installed in the enclosure.
Expansion card	Refers to low-profile PCIe cards installed in the enclosure that provide I/O expansion.
Warm swap	A slot is considered warm-swap if the sled associated with a component in that slot must be turned off before adding or replacing the component. However, the enclosure and the rest of the sleds remain powered on.
Hot swap	A component in the enclosure is considered as hot swap if it can be replaced or installed while the enclosure and sleds are powered on.
